• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Well that was fun.... :)

1. What happened?
We upgraded our search engine and lost our search index in the process. We tried to take precautions, but it was a huge jump in technology. We had to re-index the entire system.

2. Why? It was working well.
"Soon" we will be upgrading the forum software and our search engine needed a tune up. Plus, the new search engine has added security features.

3. Anything noteworthy?
If you ever were interested if your reports are being read and discussed, there were well over 250,000 mod comments just for reports!

Thanks for your patience today and thank you for being a part of this amazing community of misfits.

That’s what you get for trying to be proactive.
What were you thinkin’? 🤔🧐😂
Thanks though.
 
If a project is probably gonna take 4-8 hours we tell our clients from EOB on Friday and all of Saturday.

That way we always look like champs (when we finish by 10am on Saturday).

And, if something goes wrong, we have all day Saturday to figure it out.
